Meeting Ray Dionaldo and Felix Cortes

Meeting Tuhon Ray Dionaldo, Tuhon Felix Cortes for the 1st time

It was in Germany, Saturday, 30th May 2009, we were informed the event started at 8pm. 3 cars driving from Weisbaden to Karlsruhe. It wass uppose to be an hour drive. I was in the car with Dimas, Lillo and Juan Moreno was driving.

We were lost for nearly 2 hrs, we reached Karlsruhe alittle before 10pm. If you want to know why we are late, you can ask the drivers ;) We laugh about it now, atleast we get to see other parts of Frankfurt :)

Arriving to the party, I saw Tuhon Felix Cortes and Tuhon Ray Dionaldo sitting down talking with people at the table. Now, keep in mind these guys are HUGE names in the martial arts community, I wasnt expecting anything from them but the casual "Hello, nice meeting you and welcome to the party.", you know the usual "I dont know who you are but I'll just pretend to know you" kind of talk. So I was not really expecting much, walked up to Tuhon Felix and introduced myself.

"Hey! Maul Mornie! Welcome! My wife loves your videos!" Tuhon Felix said while shaking my hand. "Hey Maul! Welcome!" said Tuhon Ray. I was so taken back by this, in my mind I was like "OMG! These guys know me?!?!". Unbelievably enough they know who I was, recieving compliments from both of them was more unbelievable. Tuhon Ray walked up to me and said how watching my videos made him wanting to train in his silat more, I was so shocked, I was speechless, I looked at Jospeh and Grant, just to confirm did I hear this correct? did Tuhon Ray Dionaldo actually said that to me? I dont know if they heard it, but they just smiled, when I was expecting one of them to pinch me.

It was an honor meetng the Tuhons, such an overwheming and humbling experience, meeting and talking to these masters.

My thank you to Rene (German FCS Representative) and FCS German for having me and making me feel welcome. To Lillo Puccio and everyone for making this happen.

SINCERE APOLOGIES

I would like to convey my sincere apologies for the individuals and groups of people who has sent me emails of enquiries, emails of support and encouragement.

As I am managing a major part of SSBD worldwide, in regards to the amount of emails that I get every week, I get an average of 55 to 60 emails a week. Due to my constantly travelling around the world, I would like to kindly ask for your understanding and patience if I do not or am late to reply to your emails.

To help get your answers faster, if you have any enquiries about SSBD seminars, study groups or trainin groups in your country or close to your area, please email the independent organizers or group leaders close to your country or area. They will help accomodate your enquiries. But please also be patient as most of them are not full-time martial artists, they have other responsibilities as well.

Thank you for taking your time to read this.

All the best in your training.

MAKLUMAN

Adalah untuk pengetahuan semua, Silat Suffian Bela Diri pada masa ini bukanlah di bawah PERSIB (Persatuan Silat Brunei Darussalam).

Silat Suffian Bela Diri pada masa ini adalah di dalam "proses perundingan" untuk mendaftarkan nama ke PERSIB (Persatuan Silat Brunei Darussalam). Pada awal tahun 2009, iaitu pada bulan Januari, saya Maul Mornie telah pun membuat perjumpaan dan perundingan dengan Pg Hj Mohammad (President PERSIB) termasuklah dengan Pg Hj Jaludin (Secretary General PERSIB) dan Pg Karim (Tresurer PERSIB). Ini adalah perjumpaan pertama kali bercakap mengenai pendaftaran.

Oleh kerana jadual saya sangat padat mengajar di luar negara, process ini mengambil masa yang lebih lama dari yang di harapkan. Saya juga meminta pihak yang tertentu untuk bersabar dan memberi tolak ansur yang sepatutnya di dalam proses ini.

Hasrat saya di dalam membuat kenyataan ini adalah supaya tiada pihak yang cuba untuk mengelirukan cerita yang boleh memburukkan nama saya dan nama keluarga, atau cuba untuk melambatkan lagi proses pendaftaran.

Kita mestilah bersifat professional untuk memajukan lagi Tradisi Silat Brunei Kitani ke mata dunia. Sebagai orang Brunei kita mesti lah tolong menolong memajukan satu sama lain.

Yang Benar;
Maul Mornie
